Landlines go dead as more use cell phones

Hrumpf! We're moving in the opposite direction here: our cell phones are about to go dead. They foist unpredictable charges on the budget, are generally more expensive than a landline and for me to actually use mine out here requires going out to the east paddock and standing close to the fence!
